Pros

Small company atmosphere, OK commute, growing company. Not much else to say except it is a job.

Cons

Toxic Management. Clock watchers, you go five min over lunch, they call you out. Overworked employees, so many mistakes being rushed and managers point blame on others and ridiculous cluttered and not easy to work in space, So noisy! Political atmosphere! Unqualified people being promoted in management and long term employed very good and personable people with so much knowledge not being promoted. Very disspointing and unfair situation.

Pros

Good benefits. PTO was mediocre at best.

Cons

No learning or training opportunities ever. You can't pursue your company goals in company time because everything has to be attached to a charge code so if the company activity you want to do doesn't have a charge code then you're on your own time even if you're on site. Management doesn't care that morale is low. Promotions aren't given based on merit or time served or any sort of quantifiable metric. You can be the greatest thing since sliced bread and then talk yourself up in your yearly review but still get nothing but empty promises at the end of the review process.

Pros

Great work life balance: if you need balance to raise a family, this the place for you! Many software jobs are or can be fully or partially remote, and most managers (many of whom are remote) are fine with this. Great flexibility to work weird hours to accommodate a tight schedule. Low pressure: generally speaking, LM business cycles move in months and years instead of days and weeks, so there is usually no pressure to burn the candle to deliver impossible deadlines (though it depends somewhat on your team). Good (not great) benefits: 10 match + contributions to 401k. Meh health insurance. Comp time: if you do have to burn the candle for a project, often your manager can approve comp/flex time at 1.0 base. Stability: LM will still be around in 5 years.

Cons

Low base salary: LM usually beats other government contractors but is usually behind industry by 10 or more for similar qualifications and experience. Low bonus: around 5 percent Low raises: 2-4 percent annually Little advancement opportunity: LM generally prefers to hire outside instead if moving people up inside a department. The exceptions are people who can gently stroke customers and sponsors for more funding or who are in a difficult to fill rec where LM isn't competitive with the market (like cyber and AI). Potentially boring projects High turnover: LM is always getting high talent people poached by other companies. No stock options or RSUs for most employees
